[Hiring] Senior FATCA/CRS Consultant @All Cares

Role Description

This is a remote, independent consulting engagement. Work is called on as needed and paid at a daily or hourly rate.

You will provide senior technical support on FATCA and CRS to WealthComply and its clients when called on. Assignments will fall into three areas:

• Technical support:
  • You will review and determine complex classification cases, including multi-tier trust, foundation and holding structures, and you will sign off the classification memoranda issued in those cases.
  • You will answer clients' technical questions across the full compliance cycle, from registration and due diligence to reporting, corrections and responses to tax authority queries.
  • You will advise clients on remediating historic classification or reporting errors, and on the documentation a regulator or auditor would expect to see.
• Commercial support:
  • You will join sales calls and product demonstrations when a prospect's compliance team wants a practitioner in the room, and you will handle the technical questions that go beyond the product script.
  • You will help new clients map their existing structures onto the platform during onboarding.
  • You will contribute, when invited, to webinars, articles, conference panels and client briefings.
• Technical resource:
  • You will act as a technical resource to our client-facing team, and you will brief them on developments such as the amended CRS and the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework.
  • You will be available to clients' compliance officers and responsible officers when they need a considered view on a difficult question.

Qualifications

• You have spent a substantial part of your career, typically ten years or more, in the trust and fiduciary industry.
• You have hands-on experience of the full FATCA and CRS compliance cycle for trusts and fiduciary structures.
• You have prepared or reviewed FATCA and CRS reporting in the prescribed XML formats.
• You have handled FATCA registration and GIIN maintenance, including sponsored entities and trustee-documented trusts.
• You have dealt directly with a tax authority or regulator on AEOI matters.
• You know the Model 1 and Model 2 IGA framework and the CRS Commentary well enough to explain why a structure is classified as it is.
• You have worked directly in at least one major trust jurisdiction.
• You write precise technical memoranda in English and can explain the same analysis in plain terms to a client or a colleague in sales.
• You can take on assignments at short notice, free of conflicts with any current employer or client.

Requirements

• A legal, accountancy or STEP qualification, or experience as a FATCA responsible officer, will be an advantage.
• Knowledge of US Chapter 3 withholding and QI documentation, including Forms W-8 and W-9, will be an advantage.
• Exposure to fund administration will be an advantage.

Benefits

• We offer a daily or hourly rate and fully remote work.
• You will work with an established platform and a client base of licensed fiduciaries in several international finance centers.
• The engagement may expand as the business grows.
